IMPROVEMENT IN LAND-ROLLERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 153,452, dated July28,1874; application filed March 6, 1874.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, RICHARD MILLER, of Ellington, county of Outagamie,in the State of Wisconsin, have invented certain Improvements inLand-Rollers, of which the following is a specification:

My invention has for its object the rolling of land, making it smoothand compact, and is accomplished by rollers hung in aframe, one rollerset in advance of the other, and placed so that their inner ends willlap a little, and thus make a smooth surface, and in turning round oneroller will double up onto the tongue when turning one way. or if turnedthe other way one roller will roll forward and the other back, the sameas a pair of wheels.

s Figure l is a view of my invention.

A is the rear frame; B, the front frame; 0, the rear roller; D, thefront roller; E, the tongue; F, a chain, of which one end is fastened tothe rear roller-frame and the other end to the tongue; G, the hingewhich secures the end of the rear roller-frame to the end of the frontroller-frame. As the tongue is hitched onto by the team to draw therollers over the ground the rear frame is kept in position by the chainF, and the front roller-frame will be kept in position by the tongue,the rollers being set so that their inner ends lap a little; the groundover which they travel will thus be made smooth.

I claim as my invention- Land-rollers O and D, tongue E, chain F, andjoint G, all in combination substantially as specified.

RICHARD MILLER.
